ARMED - Devices

Flexible Data Capturing

The ARMED team have investigated and tested a wide range of wearable and peripheral devices. Seeking the high-end accuracy of device inputs is a vital component to building machine learning model outputs. Capturing data metrics from a choice of device inputs will therefore allow flexibility for identifying the escalations of a patient regardless of the medical condition that they are suffering from: Falls, Frailty / Chronic conditions, Respiratory / COPD, Long COVID and Obesity.

Polar Ignite

Activity / inactivity metrics across 6 zones / per hour
Inactivity stamps
Sleep duration and quality
Nightly recharge metrics
Sleep stage metrics
Continuous heart rate monitoring (at night)

Vital Signs Sensor

The credit card sized sensor (worn on top left arm) is also autonomous, and all communication hardware is internal and includes Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and its own global cellular modem. If no connectivity is available, local alerting is also available with all data being stored and transmitted when connectivity is restored.

Activity, Falls Detector & GPS Monitoring

Integrated sim card (on LTE-M network)
2 way calling facility through integrated microphone
SOS alert button to incident/feeling unwell etc
GPS tracking and safe zone breach notifications
Respiration rate
Activity intensity
Sleep quality
Achievement of activity goal
Resting heart rate
Heart rate variability

Hydration Monitoring

Fluid intake management monitoring
Prompt if de-hydrated (based on user settings)
Prompt on maximum fluid intake (if restricted fluid management)
Ability to record family voice making prompts more personable
Metrics on fluid intake and number of prompts

Body Composition Scales

Weight
Body Fat (%)
Muscle Mass
Bone Mass
Body Mass Index (BM)
Metabolic Age
Body Water (%)
Visceral Fat
Daily Calorie Intake (DCI)

Grip Strength Meter

Grip strength measurements are easy to calculate, but they are sensitive enough to detect even the smallest of changes in hand strength, which makes them especially useful when tracking the progress of a patient going through physical therapy.

It's also a reliable indicator of a greater risk of heart attack or stroke. In an international study, researchers found that an 11-pound decrease in grip strength is correlated to a 17 percent increased risk of cardiovascular death, a 7 percent increased risk of heart attack and a 9 percent increased risk of stroke.

Medication Adherence Management

Fully managed by local pharmacies. Medications collected / delivered directly to the individual
Provides an audible and visual prompt to the user with which medication number to be taken
Alerts configured per person with where the “non adherence” messages are sent
Provides data for future use within the ARMED analytics to identify common but problematic issues such as UTI’s
25% increase in adherence seen to data
